  • I love the way he stood by his decision and was able to give sound reasons for his choice.
  • I absolutely love how both of them stood their ground. It’s possible to disagree with respect and love.
  • We are forgetting that Zendaya is a light skin woman. The discourse is mainly in how Annie photographs dark skin black women. There is nuance even in that conversation because colourism plays a part here.
  • He is smart because he understands the power of Annie’s name beside his. It’s about positioning and having her name beside his elevates his brand
  • @TraceyOfficial
    Law's response was a Masterclass in responding to contentious opinion
  • This is the kind of dialogue we need! A conversation with different opinions, yet respectful commentary.
  • @sxt4447
    I love that you had the guts to ask him the question we were ALL thinking 🫢
  • The disagreement isn’t the photographer, it’s that they have different definitions of beauty and what is considered beautiful.
  • @LambentOrt
    Girl is trippin. Those photos look amazing, natural and raw.
  • This man does not allow anyone to make him a victim! He is actually such an amazing asset for Zendaya, and I can’t wait to see what else he does with his talent.
  • @backto-il9ne
    The Viola and Lupita pictures were part of a shoot that was focused on a naturalistic deglammed look. Not to include the context is weird. Also, social media loves acting TURNT and LIT when they have no expertise. As Beyonce would say, experts with no expertise. I am glad Law emphasized the professionalism aspect.
  • @Ddiyanne
    This is what we need from journalists!!! Honesty with no sugar coating !
  • @MarzAndrea
    I really disliked how the interviewer handled this, ive never seen someone so adamant about imposing their opinions on someone else, so judgey, and theres a way to have that back and forth without coming off as superior and like youre “right” and hes wrong… its a no for me
  • @Belihoney
    I'm black and I really like Annie photos including on black woman 🤷🏾‍♀️ I guess it's stylistic preference. I like that hollowed out eerie but majestic feeling her photos have. It's very Shakespeare tempest vibe. why cant we show up on those vibes too!
  • Lupita and Viola look amazing. I love how she caught the folds in Viola's hand. The beauty of her skin. I love the side view of Lupita, the knots in her hair. I think your biases are peeking through.
  • @aznfangrl612
    As someone who had no idea about this tea, those photos they clipped in of Viola and Lupita look amazing. It looks very raw, very real, unedited. Thats my initial reaction to just seeing those photos in this moment
  • @kaygee8343
    Law Roach is the Andre Leon Talley of his generation. Wouldn't be surprised if he winds up on the editorial staff of Vogue magazine sometime in the future.

    I feel like a lot of people in this discourse, including this interviewer, do not have an eye for/background in fashion and are not realizing that not every photo needs to be the prettiest girl in the prettiest light. Sometimes creating a moody or vulnerable contrast in a photo is way more valuable than just shooting the prettiest photo. You can always buy Elle Magazine if that's what you prefer
  • The interviewer definitely comes off smug with all the “hmms” and condescending smirks.. I like the direction she was going then she acted like her opinion was superior or the “right” take. Idk I find people who think they’re the smartest in the room have a lot of room to grow.
